Abstract

the. disease are efficiently discussed, including epidemiology, case finding, diagnosis, and treatment. The simple practical manner in which the authors present the epidemiological aspect is of particular interest to all public health workers. Too frequently control programs exclude practical application of all the information available from the epidemiological viewpoint. The importance of hospitalization is properly emphasized. Case finding is discussed thoroughly. Basing their -views on a wide experience in the ex.amination of different population groups, valuable information is given -concerning the groups most productive of new cases of tuberculosis. The unimportance of the mass examination of school children as a means of case finding is stressed. The last chapter deals with the vari*ous steps to be taken in organizing a community campaign for the eradication -of the disease. The forecast expressed ,by the authors for the eradication of tuberculosis may be somewhat opti-mistic; nevertheless, such a goal should spur the interest of all. This book should be in the library of ,every health department and used as a handbook by health officers, public health nurses, and all others interested in tuberculosis control. R. S.
